Other, the other和another不仅长相相似

而且都同时也是限定词和代词这两个意思

在使用时很容易出现混淆和书写错误

今天王老师就来带大家区分一下other们吧~


Other

other ="additional or extra", or "alternative", or "different types of".

other as a determiner

other作限定词使用时,可以与不可数名词,以及可数名词复数连用:

Some music calms people; other music has the opposite effect. (different types of music)

What other books by Charles Dickens have you read, apart from‘Oliver Twist’? (additional or extra books)

当other与可数名词单数连用时,需要在前面添加另一个限定词

I don't like the red one. I prefer the other colour.

Jeremy is at university; our other son is still at school.

注:other作限定词使用时,没有复数形式(others)

Mandy and Charlotte stayed behind.The other girls went home. (The others girls...)

other as a pronoun

other作代词用时,根据上下文内容,可以使用复数形式

We have to solve this problem, more than any other.

I’ll attach two photos to this email and I’ll send otherstomorrow.


The other

the other as a determiner

the other与名词单数搭配时,指的是两个事物或人之中的第二个,也指事物的对立面:

This computer here is new. The other computer is about five years old.

The gift shop is on the other side of the street.

the other与名词复数搭配时,指的是一组人或事物中,剩下的那一部分:

Joel and Karen are here, but where are the other kids?

Where are the other two dinner plates? I can only find four.


the other as a pronoun

the other作代词时,用于指代在之前提到过的事物的另一个或替换:

He had his hat in one hand and a bunch of flowers in the other.

She has two kittens, one is black and the other is all white.

当用于指代多个人或事物时,the other也有复数形式the others:

Bob is on his way here, with the others.


Another

another as a determiner

another只能与名词单数搭配,指另一个,又一个:

Would you like another cup of coffee?

You’ve met Linda, but I have another sister who you haven’t met, called Margaret.


another as a pronoun

another作代词,同样指代在之前提到过的事物的另一个或替换:

The applications are examined by one teacher, then passed on to another.
